Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 tablespoons ketchup
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 0.5 cup beef broth
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 4 burger buns or sandwich rolls
• 2 tablespoons butter, softened (optional, for toasting buns)

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet, set over medium-high heat, add the ground beef. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon or spatula, until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the cooked ground beef. Cook until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium and stir in ketchup, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, brown sugar, beef broth, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.

Step 4

Simmer the mixture, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes or until the sauce thickens and coats the meat evenly.

Step 5

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it melts and is fully incorporated into the meat mixture.

Step 6

Optional: Split the burger buns or sandwich rolls in half and spread softened butter on the cut sides. Toast the buns in a skillet or under a broiler until golden brown.

Step 7

Spoon the cheesy sloppy joe mixture onto the bottom halves of the toasted buns. Close with the top halves and serve immediately.

Step 8

Enjoy your cheesy, hearty Sloppy Joe sandwiches!
